It is one of the things you can not miss when you visit the falls. You can leave from both the Canadian side and the New York side. You might get a little wet but if you keep your poncho hood up and tied it isn't too bad. My husband and I went mid October and even though the weather... more

This boat trip is very fun and interesting. They take you right up to the falls! They give you rain coats, but expect to still get soaked. When you are right up next to the falls, it feels like a rain storm, and it is windy. The bottom of my pants and my shoes were soaked by the end of... more

My husband and I took a 3 day trip to Niagara Falls (Ontario side) this past August for our 8 year anniversary. The area is "super touristy" which was not surprising, but the feeling you get on the Maid of the Mist is too great for words! The boat ride is only a short trip, but the view is fantastic!... more

We went twice. Nothing like it. Of all the ways we looked at the Falls, this was the most awesome. Beautiful, breathtaking way to "experience" the Falls. They provide ponchos which we needed as the mist at Horseshoe Falls is thick, came in like rain at one point. We dried out quickly but will never forget the view and the... more

This is always a good time. I don't see much point of me going into the experience at length, given the number of other reviews and general writing on the internet around this attraction. What struck us as much as anything was the friendly service by the staff involved in running the Maid. We were enjoying a weekend away at... more

We went as part of an organised tour. It was a great once in a lifetime experience where you get some real understanding of the awesome power of both the American and Canadian Falls. If you do anything at Niagara - this is it. more

I've been to Niagara Falls 4 times and had never been on the boat... What an amazing ride, one of the most memorable experiences we've ever had.. Will do it again if we're ever in the area. Worth every penny. Definitely recommend!! more

Loved the Maid of the Mist! Being at the base of the Horseshoe Falls and hearing the thunder of the falls was simply awesome! For me this was the second best attraction in Niagara Falls after the Cave of the Winds on the American side. It was so hot that I didn't even wear the poncho they provided. Even though... more
